Question

I want to implement OSGI bundle which can write error messages into log file. I have some some errors in the code that I cannot solve. I have commented the code code where Netbeans give me errors.

public class LoggingSystemImpl implements LoggingSystem {

   private final static Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
   private final static String user = System.getenv("USERNAME").toLowerCase();
   private final static String sMonth = calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.LONG, Locale.ENGLISH);
   private final static int y = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

   // the name of the log file
   //private final String logName = sysDrive + "\\fttb_web - " + sMonth.toLowerCase() + ", " + y + ".log";
   private final String logName = "logger - " + sMonth.toLowerCase() + ", " + y + ".log";

   private static boolean closed;
   private static Log log = null;
   private static BufferedWriter bw = null;
   private static FileOutputStream fos = null;
   private static OutputStreamWriter osw = null;

   public LoggingSystemImpl() {
   }


   public String LoggingSystemUtilization() throws FileNotFoundException{


       return "ok";
   }


   private String Log() throws IOException
{
    fos = new FileOutputStream(logName, true);

    // set encoding to cyrillic (if available)
    if (Charset.isSupported("windows-1251"))
    {
        osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, Charset.forName("windows-1251"));
    }
    else { osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos); }

    bw = new BufferedWriter(osw, 2048); // 2Mb buffer

    return"ok";

}

// intro header for log session
public static synchronized Log getInstance() throws IOException
{
    boolean exc = false;
    try
    {
        if (log == null || closed)
        {
            log = new Log() {};

error message in Netbeans: is not abstract and does not override abstract method getPrintStream() in sun.rmi.runtime.Log

            closed = false;
            log.writeln("logged in.");

error message: cannot find symbol
symbol: method writeln(java.lang.String)
location: variable log of type sun.rmi.runtime.Log

log.nl();

error message: cannot find symbol
symbol: method nl()
location: variable log of type sun.rmi.runtime.Log

            }
        }
        catch(IOException x) { exc = true; throw x; }
        catch(Exception x) { exc = true; x.printStackTrace(); }
        finally
        {
            if (exc)
            {
                try
                {
                    if (fos != null) { fos.close(); fos = null; }
                    if (osw != null) { osw.close(); fos = null; }
                    if (bw != null)  { bw.close(); bw = null; }
                }
                catch(Exception x) { x.printStackTrace(); }
            }
        }
        return log;
    }


    public synchronized void nl()
    {
        try { bw.newLine(); }
        catch(IOException x) {x.printStackTrace();}
    }

    public synchronized void nl(int count)
    {

    }

    public synchronized void write(String s)
    {
        try { bw.write(s); }
        catch (IOException x) {x.printStackTrace();}
    }

    public synchronized void close()
    {
        try
        {
            if (bw != null)
            {
                writeln("logged out.");
                nl();
                bw.flush();
                bw.close();
                closed = true;

                fos = null;

        }

        if (j > 0) { write("\t\t... " + j + " more"); nl(); }

        nl(2);
    }

    private String getTime()
    {
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;

        int d = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

Answer 1

I’m almost certain you are using the wrong Log class. Anything in sun.* packages is not for user consumption.
If you want logging for your code, use the java.util.logging library or log4j. Or maybe OSGI provides a framework.
